Carl Johard is a Swedish author, literary scholar, former business journalist, entrepreneur and future-oriented thinker. His writing moves between international thrillers, historical and philosophical novels, and books about democracy, knowledge and societal development.
Although the books belong to different genres and take place in different periods, they are connected by the same fundamental questions:
What kind of world do we truly want to live in?
And how can humanity learn, cooperate and change before the problems become greater than our ability to solve them?
Carl Johard's authorship follows a continuous arc: From the global problems confronting humanity, through the moral and spiritual foundations of a better society, to the institutions and systems that could make such a society possible.
With a long career as editor-in-chief for various leading business media, he has also worked as a PR and marketing expert in international organisations and as a successful serial entrepreneur in AI. He grew up in Sweden, has been active in the USA and in many other parts of the world.
Carl Johard now lives in Italy, where he writes full time and continues to explore the ideas that connect his books — from the shadows of global power to the hopeful foundations of a wiser civilisation.
